| 22204 | I1364 | Strickland | Sampson | Abt 1710 | Abt 1782 | 0 | From STRICKLAND SCENE Vol 7, No 2, Second Quarter 1986: "Sampson Strickland of Revolutionary Wake County, N.C.: A Tale of Tory Determination" Contributed by Franceine Perry Rees "A great may tragedies, and perhaps as many tales of courage and sacrifice, could be written if those of us who dig into our family's "roots" could learn the complete stories behind the written records of events in our ancestors' lives! We can only wonder about what motivated Sampson Strickland, Sr., middle-aged husband and father, solid citizen and prosperous farmer, to stand up in the Wake County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions in December, 1777, and steadfastly refuse to swear the Oath of Allegience to the State of North Carolina. By his refusal, Sampson placed himself with the despised Loyalists and was therefore ordered to leave the state. In some parts of North Carolina, "Tories" were numerous and could support each other against revolutionary pressure; such was not the case in Wake County. The Oath, devised as part of the state's Treason Act of 1777, was unequivocal; "I will bear faithful and true Allegience to the State of North Carolina, and will to the utmost of my power support and maintain, and defend the independent Government thereof, against George the Third, King of Great Britain, and his Successors . . . . " Unlike other British sympathizers, Sampson Strickland was not a recent immigrant to these shores; as youngest son of Matthew Strickland, Jr. and his wife Anne Bracewell, he descended from several generations of Viriginia colonists. His nearest tie to the pro-British Anglican clergy appears to have been nor nearer than a maternal great-grandfather, Rev. Robert Bracewell, parson of the Lower Parish, Isle of Wight County, Virginia, whose death preceded Sampson's birth by more than fifty years. Neither was he a merchant who profited from trade with the British. For whatever cause, even in the face of overwhelming opposition, this Strickland found himself unable to renounce his loyalty to the English crown. Born in 1723 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, Sampson Strickland moved south as a young man, receiving a Granville grant patent May 24, 1756 for 275 acres of land in what was then Johnston County, North Carolina. (The Powell Creek area where he settled was divided in 1770 to create Wake County.) Court records include more than a dozen references to Sampson thereafter; he recorded deeds, witnessed others' land transactions, registered his cattle brand. In addition to his agricultural pursuits, he accepted a number of civic responsibilities, serving as juror, caretaker of an orphan, road committee member and road overseer. By the time colonial fervor for independence rose high, Sampson Strickland must have been quite thoroughly settled among his Wake County neighbors, doubtless cherishing hopes that eventual reconciliation with the mother country might be achieved. But as the strife between England and her colonies increased, it became impossible for North Carolinians to remain tacit royalists. A rather mild loyalty oath in which persons suspected of sympathizing with the crown swore not to bear arms against or otherwise oppose the rovolutionary government "during the present unhappy contest between Great Britain and America" was ultimately replaced by a much more stringent avowal; all who lived within the colony that had proclaimed itself a state were to be compelled to declare their allegiance to it. As 1777 drew to a close, Sampson Strickland may have already refused the oath in a muster of men in his militia district, or he may have been singled out and summoned to court as a suspected British symphathizer. At any rate, two other men appeared in court the same day as Sampson; they each swore the oath and were given certificates as evidence that they had "complyed with the law." Sampson Strickland, however, defied the court, the law, and popular opinion: "...being Cited to appear at this Court to take the Oath of Allegience to this State came into Court, and on said Oath being offered to him her refused taking the same, whereupon the Court Pronounced his Banishment agreeable to Law." It is probable that Sampson was banished as ordered, but where he went remains a mystery. Did he go to the West Indies or to Nova Scotia, as did other Loyalists? Did any of his family go with him? Was any of his property confiscated? The records do not offer such information. In fact, he must have died in exile, because his name does not appear in the court minutes from the time he was sentenced until after his death, when his widow Christina reported his estate inventory in July, 1781. In March of the next year, she received fromthecourt persmiisio to act as her husband's administratix, posting bond for 700 pounds. In June the court accepted an account of the estate sale from the deputy sherriff (buyers included Christina, Obediah, Abel, and Hardy Strickland, along with Sampson Strickland, Jr. In March, 1783, Christina sought guardianship of her younger children--Obediah, Abel, Mary Anne, Lot, Braswell, and Matthew, for which she was required to enter bond of 1,200 pounds. In May 1784, Obediah achieved his majority and purchased 250 acres of what had doubtless been his father's land fromthe deceased Tory's eldest son and namesake, Sampson, Jr. Christina, their mother, co-signed the deed with her mark. One of the witnesses, Joseph Strickland, may have been another older son with Sampson the elder and Christina. Lot Strickland's December, 1784, will names his mother and brothers, Braswell and Matthew, with Obediah as executor and Abel and Joseph as witnesses. It is unlikely that many of Sampson Strickland's legion descendants would agree that his refusal to support the new state was justified; history has certainly shown that the American Revolution was not only inevitable but beneficial. However, those of us who descend from this stubborn Wake County Tory should take some pride in his bravery, and hope we might have inherited a modicum of that quality in his charater which resulted in this sacrifice of home and a comfortable future for principle and loyalty. The loyalist tendencies of Sampson Strickland Sr did not descend to his namesake. The younger Sampson served two tours of active duty with the Wake County militia, according to documents in a pension claim filed by his children. |

| 22205 | I1374 | Strickland | Sampson | Between 1740 and 1765 | 16 May 1839 | 0 | The list of the children of Sampson Strickland and his wife Bythe, is from his Revolutionary War pension claim file no. R-10264. He was a resident of Wake County, North Carolina during the Revolutionary War, where he took the oath of allegience on November 24, 1777. In 1780, he married his cousin, Bythe Strickland in Wake County. He died May 16, 1839 at about age 82 years, when a resident of Franklin County, NC to which he had moved a few years before his death. His wife, Bythe, died in Franklin County, date not given. All of his children lived in Nash County in 1846, when son Eaton Strickland applied for a pension based on his father's alleged five months tour under Captain Collars and six month tour under Captain Carrington, both in the North Carolina Militia. Sampson was reportedly at the Battle of Stono. The pension claim was not allowed, as proof of service as required by the pension law was not furnished. A Martha Strickland, age 76 in 1845, and then of Nash County, stated that she married into the Strickland family, and that her husband was present at the marriage of Sampson and Bythe.

| 22207 | I16307 | Strickland | Samuel | Abt 1795 | 0 | The following information is copied from Sharon Holland's Family Tree Maker's Genealogy Site: Genealogy Report: Descendants of David Strickland http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/o/l/Sharon-L-Holland/ "Character Certificates in General Land Office of Texas 2934. San Augustine Sept 1, 1835 No. 182. Samuel Strickland native USA emigrated 1821 married with family 5 persons. Samuel X Strickland. Samuel Strickland was listed as delinquent ont he tax rolls of Miller County, Arkansas in 1823. In 1824, David Strickland was also delinquent, and by 1825, Samuel, Amos, James and David Strickland, Jr could all be found on the deliquent tax rolls for Miller County, Arkansas. It shows they had removed themselves from the area. Around 1824, they show up in Teneha, Texas Territory. The interpretor at the General Land Office in Texas explained that Samuel along with his brother, David applied for a Mexican Land Grant in 1835. Within a few months, the Mexican government shut down giving out the land. Both Samuel and David turned around and applied for land in Texas Territory. It was also explained that Samuel arrived to Mexico/Texas Territory in 1821 from Kentucky. On the 1835 Teneha census Samuel and Mary Strickland are listed, along with children Squire Humphreys, Susan Humphreys, David Strickland, Amos Strickland, and Samuel Strickland." Sharon also speculated that Samuel might have been named "James Samuel" as was his son, and that he was the same person as the "Tiger Jim Strickland" that was killed in 1842, Samuel dropped off the face of the earth. Samuel's brother, James, supposedly went to Louisiana and lived till 1856. This helps support that Samuel went by "Tiger Jim." His family, stepchildren (Squire Humphreys and Susan Perrima Humpreys West, wife of Hampton West) were involved in the Regulator Moderator War. The 1850 Shelby County census includes not only his children, but the orphaned children of Mr. Stanfield, who was murdered in the Regulator Moderator War. Three year old Samuel is listed by his first name, James. However, Richard McAuley, in October, 2014 emailed that Sharon's assumption of Samuel Strickland and "Tiger Jim" Strickland being one and the same is incorrect. Richard writes that "My ancestor, Alvey R. Johnson (1803-1862) served as administrator on the estate of the deceased Samuel Strickland, who died in 1847, and was the administrator on the estate of the deceased William Humphries (d1846), Samuel's wife Mary Strickland's first husband. Evidence in support of the latter has been available from the Texas General Land Office since 1866. We can can arrive at a near date of death for Samuel Strickland, who at his decease was administrator on the estate of the deceased William Humphries who died 1846. From the papers of my ancestor, we can rely in all certainty that Samuel Strickland was deceased prior to 31 July 1847 when was found by the probate court that his assets were insufficient to meet the demands of his creditors and that reserved for his heirs, such that the burden fell upon his widow to render reduced portions to the heirs. Below are some examples of the receipts I possess and form the basis of my conclusions: 1848: January 16, letter from Joseph Rowe to A.R. Johnson requesting the field notes and the certificate of Amos Strickland (for 26 labors of land in Hunt County, Texas). [Note: this is the elder Amos Strickland (1796-1848), third son of David G. Strickland Sr. (1759-1824) and Mary Ogdon? (1762-1837)] 1848: July 31, "Received of A.R. Johnson, administrator of the Estate of Samuel Strickland deceased nine 85/100 dollars in full of Probate fees of said Estate up to date; A.McLamore CCC & Ex officio" 1848, July 31, "Received of Mary Strickland Guardian of David Strickland Et Al two 95/100 dollars in full of Probate Fees of said Minors up to date, July 31, 1848; A.McLamore CCC & Ex officio" 1848, September 18, "Rec'd of A.R. Johnson, administrator of the estate of Samuel Strickland dec'st, five dollars in full of my fees as an attorney in said case up to date; L.H. Ashcroft" 1848, September 18, "Rec'd of A.R. Johnson, five dollars in full of my fees as an attorney in the case of John Perry vs said Johnson; L.H. Ashcroft" 1849: May 8, "Shelby County, Mr A. R. Johnson Sir you will please let H.C. Daggett have the five bags of Cotton that you have in your Gin and much obj you, Mary Strickland Administatrix" 1854: August 17, deed of sale by William Samuel Mann of Freestone County, husband to Rachel Mann (formerly Rachel Strickland) one of the heirs of Samuel Strickland, in fee simple to A.R. Johnson and Nelson D. Walling, for part of the Samuel Strickland HR. Rachel Strickland married Willam S. Mann on July 27, 1854 by Andrew David, minister of Methodist Episcopal Church South, Freestone County, Texas. 1856: March 11, power of attorney by James Strickland of Freestone County to A.R. Johnson, witnessed by J.L. Johnson and S.W. Shaw. 1859: September 25, letter by James Strickland of Prestone [probably meant Freestone] County to A.R. Johnson concerning a power of attorney that Strickland gave Johnson to transact his business in Panola County, and is advising that he wishes to have the instrument back because he is selling out in both counties. [James Strickland (1832-1904) married October 5, 1856 to Miss. Eliza E. Mayberry; G.W. Slaughter, minister, Freestone County, Texas.] 1860: January 26, Letter from James L. Johnson at Greenville, Hunt County, Texas to his father Alvey R. Johnson principally concerning Rowe's purchase of the Amos Strickland HR. 1860: August 24, deed of sale by A.R. Johnson to James Savage for 200 acres ($210) out of the David Strickland HR 1861: April 27, letter from Crosby's General Agency, Austin, to A.M. Truitt, at Truitts Store, concerning Truit's enquiry into the William Humphrey league and labor claim, noting that the certificate was issued to Samuel Strickland as Humphrey's assigns, and was located many years ago in Shelby County, now part of Panola County, but a patent was not issued because the claim conflicted with several other claims. As for James "Tiger Jim" Strickland, we are much more fortunate, as is shown here. In the Thursday, July 21, 1842 issue of The Red-Lander newspaper, published at San Augustine, carried news that "A friend in Shelby County, who has furnished us additional facts connected with the killing of (Tiger) Jim Strickland, is entitled to our thanks? we shall give the substance next week." We learn from the account published the following Saturday, July 23, more about the death of James "Tiger Jim" Strickland (1787-1842) while his gang was encamped on the Toro Bayou, a tributary of the Sabine River in western Louisiana, about 35 miles southeast of San Augustine, Texas: "From J.P. Border, Esq., who has recently returned from N. Orleans, we learn the following account of the detection and dispersion of a gang of desperadoes and negro thieves, near Fort Jessup. It appears that Jim Strickland? better known as "Tiger Jim"? and a man by the name of Metcalf, together with several others whose names we have not learned, were encamped on Bayou Toro; having in their possession a negro man stolen in Mississippi about a year ago. The gang became acquainted with a negro belonging to Mr. Phillips, of Fort Jessup, and proposed that he should assist them in stealing a horse from a Mr. Stoker, and runaway himself, to which he agreed. The negro, however, informed his master of what had transpired, who furnished him with Mr. Stokers horse and his own, and sent him to the place appointed for him to meet the thieves, previously secreting themselves near the place, in order to secure the villains whenever they made their appearance. They had not remained long concealed before Metcalf arrived, and after a few words with the boy, mounted one of the horses and was about to ride off, when he was hailed by Mr. Stokers and commanded to halt. Metcalf drew a pistol, wheeled, and presented it towards Stokers, when a son of Mr. Stoker discharged a gun at Metcalf, the contents of which were lodged in his side. He died in about thirty minutes. In the meantime, a person of suspicious character, (a laborer in the employ of Mr. Murphy,) who proved to be one of the gang, came up, and was taken into custody; who, after being threatened with a practical demonstration of the statues of Judge Lynch when put in physical operation, informed the party were "the Camp" might be found. They immediately raised a company of citizens, who, accompanied by four Dragoons, furnished by Colonel Twiggs, went in search of the remainder of the gang. They reached the encampment about daylight; but were discovered by Strickland, who, in attempting to make his escape, was fired at and shot through the head, which caused his instantaneous death. They examined the camp, but found nothing except the negro before mentioned, who was taken and lodged in jail, a tent cloth and wagon cover, stolen from individuals in Fort Jessup. The citizens are still on the lookout for the balance of the gang; and it is to be hoped they will ere long be brought to justice." So as near a date as we can establish through the newspaper accounts, James "Tiger Jim" Strickland was killed sometime in the latter part of June or possibly the first week of July, 1842 in recognizing the brief announcement in The Red-Lander (a weekly paper), on Saturday, July 16, the above report on the death of Tiger Jim was printed in the following edition of July 23. http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth80017/m1/2/zoom/ According to the Telegraph and Texas Register newspaper published at Houston, in the August 10, 1842 issue, reported: "Free Booter Killed? The editor of the Sabine Advocate says: We are informed that the FREE BOOTER, Jim Strickland, was shot through the head, a few days ago, by a company of gentlemen from the Trinity River, who were in pursuit of several negroes, decoyed off by Jim, his brother Henry, and another individual, belonging to the Strickland company, one of whom they also killed. The company has gone in pursuit of the said Henry, who has the negroes hid out." Jim's brother, Henry Ogdon Strickland (born 1805) was killed in 1848. As you can see by the evidence, Samuel Strickland (1794-1847) and James "Tiger Jim" Strickland (1787-1842) were indeed brothers, and though Samuel's son and namesake may have been recorded in the census as "Samuel Jr.", this convention is anything but indicative that the two were named the same. Richard McAuley also noted that "according to the link below, Samuel Strickland together with brothers Amos Strickland, James Strickland, David G. Strickland Jr., and their brother-in-law, William Forsyth, and kinsmen Abram Ogdon, Wiatt Anderson, William Humphreys, David Humphreys, Martin Nail, and William Nail were all signatories of a 1825 petition made by the inhabitants of Miller County, Arkansas Territory, praying for measures to be adopted to relieve them of the difficulties caused by the late treaties with the Choctaw Nation, giving the Choctaw lands in Arkansas. Though each of these men are recognized as having migrated to Texas between 1821 and 1828, many of them had first settled in that part of Miller County that was then west of the Choctaw Boundary, such that they settled in that part of Texas that later became Red River County. http://www.texashistorypage.com/1825-Miller-County-Petition-Arkansas-Territory.html Furthermore, McAuley noted that much of his recent undertakings have "been directed towards illustrating how the Moderators were interrelated by consanguinity or affinity. For example, these interrelated families comprised many of the earliest emigrants who settled Shelby County, 1819-1830, viz: Bailey Anderson Jr., John English, Christopher Choate, John M. Bradley, James Truitt, William Todd, Joseph G. Goodbread, Samuel McFadden Sr., William Humphries, and of course, David G. Strickland, Sr. For example, Christopher "Kit" Choate's sister was wife of John English, while Kit's widow was the second wife of John M. Bradley, who was the brother-in-law of Joseph G. Goodbread, whose widow Susan Todd married secondly to Alfred M. Truitt (Alvey Johnson's nephew). Wiatt, brother to Bailey Anderson Jr., married to Nancy McFadden, sister to Andrew McFadden Sr., the husband of Jane Humphries, the aunt to William Humphries, whose first wife was reportedly Mary Ann Humphries nee Smith (1799-1849). By her first marriage, she was the mother of Susannah Permina West, Squire (or "E'sqr") Humphries, and also possibly a third, a son who I have only read about. She married, second (1822), to Samuel Strickland and was the mother of David, Amos, Samuel Jr, James and Rachel Strickland; and if you include William's nine children by Polly Berry, it makes for quite a large family. The information I wish to relate below is that Susan or rather Susannah Humphries West was the only child of William Humphries, or rather in 1861 when her statement was made, she was the only child then living, as is clarified in another document. In the same statement where Susannah West claimed to be the only child of William Humphries, she clarifies that her mother was William Humphries' first wife, and married second to Samuel Strickland (1794-1847), such that the children and heirs of Samuel Strickland, namely: David, Amos, Samuel Jr., James, and Rachel Strickland were her half-siblings. Indeed, when you examine the 1835 Census, Susannah is evidently enumerated as "Permina Strickland" (16) while her older brother "Squire Strickland" (17) appears with her in the household of their step-father Samuel Strickland (40) and their mother Mary (42). Although William Humphries and his second wife are not enumerated in the surviving pages of the 1835 Census, they might well have also been enumerated on one of the other missing pages of the census when the Old Capitol building burned in 1855? H.P.N. Gammell (1898) The Laws of Texas were among the documents Gammel and his wife salvaged from the fire. The document which I am referring to is on-file in the Texas General Land Office concerning the balance to a league and labor of land granted to William Humphries (901 acres in Harrison, and 3703 acres in San Augustine County), which was assigned to Samuel Strickland, administrator on the decedent's estate. http://www.glo.texas.gov/ncu/SCANDOCS/archives_webfiles/arcmaps/webfiles/landgrants/PDFs/3/5/4/354087.pdf Accompanying these files are various documents relating to a certification made in Wilson County and dated June 24, 1877 by Hampton West and bearing his mark indicating that Martin West is "a true and lawful heir of Wm. Humphries, deceased late of Shelby County, Texas". Also on file is a copy of the 1877 affidavit of heirship by Martin S. West as well as a "Certificate of Heirship of William Humphreys and Samuel Strickland (1878)". There is further contain a conveyance by Hampton West and his wife Sarah West, of Bexar County to Louisa M. Williams, of the head right certificate of William Humphries, Samuel Strickland, Admr No. 244, Class 1st, issued by the Board of Land Commissioners of Shelby County for one league and labor of land. It therein notes: "The said Susan West, being the only child of said William Humphreys deceased," and bears the marks of W.H. West and Susannah West, dated January 8, 1861. At Austin, there is an October 15, 1866 conveyance by Amos Strickland, together with his brother-in-law, William S. Mann and sister Rachel (Strickland) Mann, they being the children and heirs of Samuel Strickland, for a sum of $960 paid by Louisa M. Williams, relinquished their right title claim to the land and the certificate of their grandfather, David Strickland [Sr], for a league and labor of land situated in Red River County, also the head-right survey of their mother Mary Strickland's first husband William Humphrey's on the waters of Murvalls Bayou, as well as their interest in the head-right to 320 acres of land of their half-brother, Squire Humphries (this being his soldier's bounty for three months service in the Army of Texas, 1836). Also conveyed was the head-right of their own father Samuel Strickland for a half league issued in Shelby County and located on Plum Creek in Shelby, and all rights and titles of the said William Mann and his wife Rachel Mann in her grandmother Mary Strickland's head-right survey also located in Panola County on the waters of Murvalls Bayou. This, the above document, closely mates to a letter from James Strickland to Alvey R. Johnson, dated in Freestone County, September 25, 1859 concerning a power of attorney that James gave to Johnson to transact his business in Panola County, and is advising he wished to have the instrument back because he is selling out in both counties. Obviously given the late date (1866), the Civil War no doubt had some impact on the continuance toward a settlement I move that one issue is now clear, anent the head-right of the senior matriarch Mary (Ogdon?) Strickland (1762-1837), I have record of sale of the very same land, having comprised 25 labors of land (4,527.5 acres) dated January 17, 1861 by John Strickland, one of the sons and heirs of Mary Strickland, conveying his right title to his mother's land in Panola County to Alvey R. Johnson. Sadly, Johnson's interest in this land had not been settled by the date of his death, and many years later, in 1897, his heirs retained an attorney in Panola County to reclaim the land. I do not yet know the outcome or whether a suit was ever brought in Panola County's District Court?" |

| 22215 | I67 | Strickland | Solomon | Between 1735 and 1742 | Aft 1818 | 0 | In Bruce Howard's book about the Pace family, he notes (pg 137-138) that Solomon and Amy resided at his plantation on Turkey Creek for many years and (this) is where most, if not all of their children were born. The area where they lived was near the Franklin, Wake, Nash county line, or in the southwestern part of Nash County. They were already living on their farm when the new county was created and in the year 1778 he applied for and received a grant for land which adjoined his farm: Nash County Grant Book, Caveat no. 256 Solomon Strickland enters 250 acres of Land in Nash County, on both sides of the great branch of Turkey Creek above Barniby Barrons, Running so as to Include the Improvements he now lives on. 31st Dec. 1778. The family lived here until 1786, when they and some of his brothers loaded up their wagons, herded together their stock, and moved to the State of Georgia. Solomon sold his 700 acres of land for 100 pounds of gold and silver on November 4, 1786 to Stephen Young (Nash County, N.C. Deed book 1, p. 342). At the time they came to Georgia the parent county in which they settled was old Wilkes County, which was later broken up to form Elbert and others. Two of the brothers, Solomon and Jacob were in Elbert, and Isaac, Henry and Matthew in the lower part of Franklin, which in 1796 became Jackson County. Solomon during that same period purchased land in Jackson upon which he was taxed, although he physically resided in Elbert. In "Foxfire 7" edited by Paul F. Gillespie, 1982, Plate 12 (p 74) shows the 12 original members of the Lystra Primative Baptist Church as Timothy Carrington (Minister), Winifred Carrington, Solomon Strickland, Amy Strickland, David Robertson, Amelia Sorrells, William Davis, John Mearon(?), Mary Mearon, Pony(?) Williford, Nancy Williford, and Juda Williford, and was dated 15 January 1803. Howard Parham, the only remaining member of the Lystra Primitive Baptist Church, recounted its history (p 71): "The church was first built over in Oglethorpe County (GA) across the river. It was and still is a Primitive Baptist church. The people moved over to this place and this building was built in 1820. They built it close to a spring so they wouldn't have to dig a well and close to water for a baptisizing hole. My granddaddy got baptized [in that hole] with ice on the banks. He wanted to be baptized then and didn't want to wait till the water got warm. [After they moved] they changed the name from Skull Shoals to Lystra. So this building is about 150 years old. They were still fighting Indians when the church was established. At that time, there was no community and no roads. The most members they ever had, according to my records, was fifty. They only have one member now and that's me. They had slave members there and a balcony set up for the slaves. They didn't sit down there with the (white) people. Once they turned a slave out for beating his wife. The women sat on one side of the church and the men sat on the other. [They] always did that. They had foot washings up until they quit having services. Every year in August they had communion and foot washings. We always called that Attracted Meeting. We had a three-day meeting in August and foot washings on one day." In PACE OUR COLONIAL ANCESTORS, Bruce Howard wrote that in 1805, the clerk of the land office in Jackson County, who apparently had a keen eye and a bit of a sense of humor, listed Solomon, Senior as "Solomon (Bit nose) Strickland." This was because he has apparently got into a knock down, no holds barred fight with someone around this time period, and that someone may have got the better of him and bit a plug out of his nose and probably broke some bones (p 139). Before leaving Elbert County and moving into the easter portion of Jackson County (circa 1805), Solomon made a deed of gift to certain of his children, disposing of his wordly property. Howard speculates that "he was quite a rounder and a good hand at drinking his own whiskey...(and perhaps) thought he was about to die" Howard went on to note that he did not intend to leave the impression that Solomon was one of little morals...he was an educated and energetic man and a very successful planter of the well-to-do class in the South. This eastern portion of Jackson was severed in 1811 to form Madison County. Solomon ratified the earlier gifts he made in Elbert County in 1813, while living in Madison County. The deeds of gift are reproduced below: Deed Book A, p. 83 Georgia Madison County Be it known that I Solomon Strickland of the County & State aforesaid did on the fourteenth day of July in the year of our Lord Eighteen hundred and four make and execute an Instrument of writing commonly called a deed of Gift wherein I gave to my children, to wit: Ephraim Strickland, Unah Thompson, Barshebah Strickland, Linny Strickland (now Linny Ware), Ezekiel Strickland and Nancy Strickland Certain property therein named which is of record in the Clerks office of the Superior Court of Elbert County all of which property in and by the said deed of Gift they were to be possessed of after the death of myself and my wife Amy Strickland, having previously given to each of my other children, to wit: Henry Strickland, Barnabus Strickland, Milly Higginbotham, Hardy Strickland, Solomon Strickland, Polly Carter and Jinny Bridges, as Sum equal to that Given to each of those named in the aforesaid deed of Gift.

| 22216 | I1145 | Strickland | Solomon | Between 1766 and 1770 | 1843 | 0 | An article entitled "Solomon Strickland of Henry County, Georgia" by Nancy Cornell appeared in Vol 6, No 2 of the STRICKLAND SCENE newsletter, and is summarized below: Solomon Strickland lived in Wilkes County, Georgia in 1790 per the County Tax Digest. He put in a claim for stolen horses in Elbert County, GA in 1802. In 1804, he was given land in Elbert County by his father. Though this "Deed of Gift" is no longer extant, it is referred to in a later deed written by his father in Madison County, Georgia in 1813. Solomon was still in Elbert County when he drew land in Baldwin county in the 1807 Georgia Land Lottery. He was one of the first settlers in old Randolph County (now Jasper County, GA). The earliest record of him in Jasper is in May 1808, six months after the county was formed from a part of Baldwin County. This record, titled "Stock Marks" includes Solomon Stricklin. By July 1812, Solomon has become a Justice of the Inferior Couty. Military records at the Georgia Department of Archives & History shows Solomon served as a Private in Capt. Joshua Hagerty's Company in November 1813. In Wiley A. Clements booklet, published 1921, and titled HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY MAY 1821-1921 states: "Among the very first to come to the County were John Glenn, Solomon Strickland, and Wiley Heflin who settled on the Towaliga River..." In HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS OF GEORGIA, Rev. George White's brief description of Henry County includes a list of the first Superior Court Grand Jurors and includes S. Strickland. From a list of the "Members of the General Assemblies of Georgia, 1777-1958," We find that Solomon Strickland was elected the first Representative of Henry County in the year 1822. He served this two year term alone, and in 1825 was elected along with John Griffin, evidently to fill a vacancy left by Thomas C. Bennine. Military Records at the Georgia Department of Archives & History list Solomon Strickland as a Colonel in Henry County from July 17, 1823 to April 20, 1824. For the rest of his life, he was referred to by many as Col. Strickland. Wiley Jones James, Solomon's grandson, in a letter dated November 27, 1919, gave the following general description of the family: "The Strickland family are scattered everywhere and all claim to be kin-folks. They cannot be excelled for bravery, but are not as strident and cautious (as others). Politically, they were Whigs, and hated to be defeated on anything and loved their ancestry. Their religion was divided between the Baptist and Methodist. My Mother had three brothers who were missionary Baptist Ministers. Their names were Barnabus, Ephraim and Bedford." It is apparent Solomon was a fairly wealthy man, and one who was respected by his acquantances. During this period of time, a mans wealth was primarily judged by the amount of land and the number of slaves he owned. In the Henry County 1831 Tax Digest, Solomon is listed as owning 14 slaves and 500 acres of 2nd quality land on the Towliga River, as well as owning one "big" carriage. Not everyone owned a carriage, so perhaps this is an indication of his wealth. The 500 acres was his "home" or main plantation, and he also owned an additional 1500 acres of third quality land on the Towliga River. The 1837 Henry County Tax Digest states Solomon still owned 500 acres on the Towaliga River, and 11 slaves. No record has been found of Solomon's marriage to the mother or mothers of his children. Traditon says he married (1) Frances Diamond and (2) Peggy Diamond. His wife was still living in 1830, but died sometime prior to 5 June 1839, when Solomon married again to Hulda Ann Hardwick of Butts County, GA. Solomon and Hulda had no children. In the Pace Society of America quartertly bulletin, No. 132, dated June 2000, Jane Shelton Strickland writes that Solomon m. Frances Diamond who experienced travail of her husband who fathered a child by her niece, Margaret (Peggy). This is documented in Jasper County, GA Court Records. The records in the Henry County Ordinary's office shows that on September 4, 1837, Solomon Strickland applied for guardianship of his grandchildren, and it was approved by the court. He was "hereby appointed Guardian of the persons and property of Frances Eliza, Mary Ann Paulina, Nancy Susan, Enoch Solomon and Barnabus Bedford Solomon, minors of Bedford Solomon, deceased." He had been granteded temporary guardianship March 30, 1837. Children not listed in his will but known to have been his children were: Barnabus Strickland and Nancy Ann James. Petitioners of a caveat against Solomon's will on May 9, 1844 were Elijah Strickland; John P. Buckalew and Darkas (Dorcas) his wife; Alfred Buffington (who married a Lavina Strickland), Barnabus Strickland; and John P. James and Nancy Ann, his wife.

Following this trouble, John moved his family to Orange. Dee Strickland moved back to Sabine County and married Luvenia Walker. Two of their three children survive: Mrs. Thelma Strickland Lakey of California and Mrs. L.C. Crouch of Houston. The Stricklands moved around to sawmilling, and lived in Rusk when Mrs. Strickland died.

The younger children who attended the Wright school northeast of town, had, as usual, been dismissed at recess time and Luella and her little cousin, Katie Striffler, had started for home. Mr. Andrews, a neighbor, was coming to town with a load of baled hay and the little girls took hold of the back of the wagon box and trudged along behind. Soon after Luella went around to the side of the wagom and placed her school book which she had been carrying, upon the rig between the bales of hay. It slipped to the ground and she leaned forward to pick it up and must have fallen, for the hind wheel of the heavily laden wagon passed over her little head completely crushing the upper portion. One of her limbs was also broken and her foot crushed. Death was instantaneous. The man on the wagon had seen the little folks on the way home from school, but drove on unconscious of the awful accident which had happened, not hearing their voices on account of the rattle of the wagon passing over the hard ground. His first intimation that anything had gone wrong was when his attention was attracted by the cries of Katie who ran screaming to tell her mother what had happened. The accident took place almost directly in front of the homes of Samuel and Solomon Striffler, and the parents of the little girl were among the first to know the horrifying facts. Tenderly the tiny form was carried into the home which she had left so shortly before, but the little spirit had taken its flight. Anna Luella was the fifth child of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Striffler, who reside one mile east and one and one-fourth miles north of town. She was six years old last October and an exceptionally sweet and intelligent little girl. She was born on the farm where her parent still reside and for almost a year she has attended the Wright school. The funeral services took place on Sunday morning in the Evangelical church, Rev. W. Bergey officiating. He preached from the text recorded in Psalms 16:6---"The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a godly heritage," and spoke many words of comfort to the grief striken family. He was assisted by Rev. J.W. Fenn. The pall bearers were four of the playmates of the little dead girl: Seva Withey, Ella Wallace, Hallie Spurgeon and Carrie Hurley. The floral tributes were profuse and very beautiful, the casket being completely hidden from view by flowers. The remains were interred in Elkland cemetery. Besides her parents, she leave three sisters, Alice, Alma and Edna; and three brothers, Frank, of Detroit, and Leonard and Louis. The sympathy of the entire neighborhood and village goes out to the stricken family in their deep sorrow over the sudden loss of their loved one.

We are called upon this week to announce the death of Christian Striffler, who passed away at this home, three miles east and one mile north of Cass City on Monday afternoon, February 6, 1911. Mr. Striffler had been in poor health for some time, but his condition was not alarming to his friends until a few days prior to his passing away. The end came peacefully and quietly, typical of the life the aged man had lived. Christian Striffler was born December 8, 1827 in Germany, and while yet a young man came with his parents to America to seek a livelihood in a foreign land. The family located at Lancaster, New York, at that time the home of his future wife, also. Mrs. Striffler, previous to her marriage, went to White Pigeon, Michigan. She was joined there by Mr. Striffler, where they were united in marriage July 3, 1856. Her maiden name was Mary ROMMEL. After their marriage they returned to Lancaster for seven years, when they again decided to make their home in Michigan, locating near Sturgis. In the year 1877 they came to Cass City where several of Mr. Striffler's brothers resided and soon after purchased the farm which is now the old homestead, and where together they have toiled for more than thirty years. By hard work they gradually converted the wilderness into a nice farm. Mr. Striffler ans his wife are loyal, consistent Christians, and members of the local Evangelical church. They were converted under the labors of Rev. Mueller and at that time united with the church of their choice. The house was blessed with eight children, two of them, Christian and Mrs. S.G. BENKELMAN preceding the father to the homeland. The remaining children are: Samuel W. of Argyle, William D., Mrs. Charles PATTERSON, Mrs. H.L. McDERMOTT, Solomon, and Mrs. Edward HELWIG, all of whom resided in this vicinity. One brother, John Striffler, of this place and sixteen grandchildren, also survive him. The funeral services were held at the Evangelical church Thursday afternoon at half past one o'clock, the pastor, Rev. J.A. Schweitzer officiating. The pall bearers were his three sons, Samuel, William, and Solomon; and three son-in-laws, H.L. McDERMOTT, Charles PATTERSON and Edward HELWIG. The interment was at Elkland cemetery.

Burt, chair of the Department of Community Health Programs at the School of Public Health. "He contributed substantially to the development of his discipline, but his greatest satisfaction was always the achievements of his graduates. In his active career and in retirement, he loved to keep in contact with as many of them as possible. He even learned to use e-mail after his retirement to help him do this. He will be sadly missed by all of us." Born in Pontiac, Mich., Striffler received his D.D.S. degree in 1947 and his master's degree in public health in 1951 from the U-M.

May 11, 1888 From Salome Striffler, George's younger sister The men have been working near the river these two weeks, when the weather was so they could plow. Today they were sowing oats. Pete Burg helped mother with the garden. I let the deer out one evening and he ran around the house in the orchard and garden and tracked the garden all up. We got him back in. The report around is that Adam Benkelman was coming home. We were so glad to think they were going to be here again, then we were disappointed to hear it was only Minnie Burg's talk. It seems odd to not see you, with a book under your arm or in the morning see you come from upstairs. Mother wants to know how far it is from church, are are there any girls in your neighborhood? Your fat sister, "Baby Elephant Jumbo", Salome June 7, 1888 From Mary Striffler, cousin. to George at Lathrop, Delta County, Michigan I took dinner from Mrs. Weydemeyer yesterday and glad to learn that Home is in camp with you now. You mention you live in the most newsless part of the earth. It strikes me that you take on the habit of a hermit without much remonstrance. The second annual institue of the M.E. Sunday School convened at Cass City, June 5. We hear that Anna Peterson is dead. Eventually she died of after effects of operation to remove a tumor. Mr. Klump is expected to hold quarterly meetings in the German Church next Sunday. August 29, 1888 From Ella Wallace to George Do you not almost wish you were back here. We all miss you. I suppose you have long since found the squaw whom you proposed getting for a housekeeper during the summer. It is dull here. My naughty sister has not come home yet. I see Mary and Gus, but not often. I have been raising kittens all summer for the chivaree. I was out East for a drive the other night and I really pitied Sam when I saw how far he had to walk. September 11, 1888 From I. A. Fritz to George Would like to know how you like the north woods. Do you have a church, if you do not, how do you pass your Sabbaths. I saw Mr. Weydemeyer and he said we are thankful to receive your assessment. Ben McCune will leave for conference. The assessment plan has worked very well. Of course, you have heard that I was married. Yes, I have settled down and am happy we have gone to housekeeping in the rooms in connection with my office. She is a stranger to you. I first met her in Carsonville, 3 year ago. Her name was Anderson. Dr. Blair left this morning for his home in Canada. October 19, 1888 From his parents, John and Mary (Benkelman) Striffler You say you might go West. I don't know why you would, in the winter, and get lost in one of the blizzards. Got a letter from John Wheelock, he says hundreds of people coming every day looking for work and can't find any. Wages are low, work scarce. D. Morrison told me the same the other day that his boys writes the same. Mrs. Benkelman said that Denver, Col is full of people looking for work. We just thrased last week bout 560 bu. of wheat, 800 bu. Oats and 121 bu. buckwheat on the V. Sta. Some of our Pear trees was loaded so that the limbs bent to the ground and such an apple crop. You didn't tell us how much you get a month or how you get your pay. JOHN STRIFFLER I would expect you home pretty soon now if you're talking of going West. It is hard to have only one boy that is big enough to help his Father and him way off working for other folks when there is so much to do at home. Of course, if you can do lots better, I don't want to say come home. MA November 18, 1888 William Bien, friend and future brother-in-law What are you doing in upper Michigan? Is it the homestead we spoke of? The Biography below, of George Albert, is copied from "History of Michigan" by Charles Moore, Volume IV, The Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago, 1915 https://archive.org/stream/historyofmichiga04moor/historyofmichiga04moor_djv GEORGE A. STRIFFLER. He whose name initiates this paragraph is not only one of the representative business men and landholders of Tuscola county but is a native son of the county and a scion of one of its best known and most honored pioneer families. Here he was reared and here he has found abundant scope for personal achievement along normal lines of enterprise. He is the leading implement dealer at Cass City, one of the thriving and attractive towns of this section of the state, and as a citizen and business man he is well upholding the honors of a name that has been most prominently linked with the development and upbuilding of Tuscola county. George Albert Striffler was born on a pioneer farm in Elkland township, Tuscola county, Michigan, on the 16th of March, 1864, and the place of his nativity is one mile east and one mile north of Cass City, his present place of residence. He is a son of John and Mary (Benkelman) Striffler, the former of whom was born near Lancaster, Erie county, New York, of German lineage, and the latter of whom was born in the kingdom of Wurtemburg, Germany. The father was reared to manhood in the old Empire state and there he learned the trade of carpenter. In 1859 he came to Michigan and numbered himself among the pioneers of Tuscola county, where he obtained a tract of wild land, in Elkland township, and where he instituted the reclamation of a farm of forty acres, in the meanwhile finding much requisition for his services as a carpenter, at Cass City and other points in this section. He was numbered among the very early settlers of the county and he erected, for William Clark, the first frame store-building in Cass City, besides having done much other important work tending to advance the upbuilding and progress of the village and county. He was identified with lumbering operations for a number of years and threw himself fully into the strenuous work involved in the development of a new country. He has ever commanded inviolate place in popular esteem and he is today honored as one of the sterling pioneer citizens of the county in which he has long maintained his home and in which he has served in various township offices. He was born March 15, 1833, and his devoted wife, who was born May 22, 1839, was summoned to the life eternal on the 4th of May, 1913; he is now living retired in Cass City. Of the seven children, six are still living: Emaline is the wife of Archibald Mark, and they reside on the old Striffler homestead; George A., of this review, was the next in order of birth; Salome, who resides in Cass City, is the widow of William Bein; Miss Martha has supervision of the domestic economies of her father's home, in Cass City; Esther is the wife of William R. Kaiser, of this place; and David A. is now a resident of Columbus, Georgia. George A. Striffler was reared on the homestead farm and well recalls the conditions and incidents of the pioneer days in Tuscola county. After attending the district school he continued his studies in the public schools of Cass City, and he was about thirty-two years of age when he went to the city of Detroit, to learn the trade of steam-fitting, in the Michigan Central car shops. He completed his apprenticeship and then returned to Cass City, where he has since been successfully engaged in the implement business, as the successor of his cousin, Jacob H. Striffler, who founded the enterprise many years ago, so that it is the oldest business of its kind in Tuscola county, even as it is the largest in Cass City, with equipment and facilities of the best type. The original firm was J. H. Striffler & Company, and the present firm was first Striffler & McDermott and is now composed of George A. Striffler and Charles E. Patterson. The firm deals in all kinds of farm implements and machinery as well as in buggies, carriages and wagons, the trade of the concern being widely disseminated and its reputation being of the highest. Mr. Striffler has recently completed in Cass City a handsome and thoroughly modern house of twelve rooms, the same being the family home and one of the most attractive in the village, even as it is one of the most hospitable,a center of much of the social activity of the community. An appreciable part of the timber utilized in the erection of this building was taken from land owned by Mr. Striffler and is of growth that has been made since the disastrous forest fires which swept this section in 1871. Mr. Striffler himself found satisfaction in assisting in the sawing of the logs into the lumber and shingles for his fine new residence. Like other representatives of the family Mr. Striffler stands exponent of progressiveness and public spirit, and he is one of the loyal and liberal citizens of his native county. He was a Republican until the formation of the Progressive party, in 1912, when he transferred his allegiance to the new organization. He has not been ambitious for public office but has served as township treasurer. He is affiliated with the local organization of the Knights of the Maccabees, and his wife, who is a leader in the social life of the community, is a member of the Woman's Literary and Study Club, besides being a devoted communicant of the Protestant Episcopal church. In the year 1900 Mr. Striffler wedded Miss Cora Belle Home, of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where she was born and reared, and they have one son, Ervine Albert, who was born in Cass City, on the 27th of March, 1906. Cass City Chronicle Friday, October 18, 1940 Page Four Mr. and Mrs. W.R. KAISER of Detroit, David STRIFFLER of Columbus, Georgia and Miss Martha STRIFFLER were Sunday guests at the G.A. STRIFFLER home. All the guests returned to Detroit Sunday evening. David STRIFFLER returned to Cass City on Tuesday and is spending the week with his brother, G.A. STRIFFLER, and other relatives. Miss Martha, who has spent a few weeks with her sister, Mrs. KAISER, in Detroit, returned to Cass City with her brother Tuesday. Cass City Chronicle Friday, July 13, 1945 Page One G.A. Striffler Died Here Friday At Age of 81 Years Conducted an Implement Business in Cass City For 45 Years George Albert Striffler, retired business man of Cass City, passed away at his home in the village on Friday morning, July 6. He was 81 years of age. Born in Elkland township, the son of John and Mary Striffler, on March 16, 1864, he had spent the greater portion of his life in this community. Mr. Striffler entered the business ranks of Cass City as a partner of the late J.H. Striffler, pioneer implement dealer here, on Nov. 1, 1899. The business was conducted under the name of J.H. Striffler & Co. for one year when J.H. Striffler sold his interest to the late Hector L. McDermott and the firm name was changed to Striffler & McDermott. This partnership continued for 12 years. From the time Mr. Striffler conducted the business under his own name until Dec. 29, 1944, when because of failing health he sold his holdings to Copeland & Munro, he had been in business here for 45 years. Mr. Striffler served the village as trustee, was village president for two years, and township treasurer on two different occasions. He was a past master of Tyler Lodge, F. & A.M., a member of the Cass City Community club and the Michigan Implement Dealers' association, and belonged to two hunting clubs, the Canada Creek Ranch Hunting club near Atlanta and the Lost Lake Woods club near Lincoln. The deceased is survived by his widow, the former Cora Belle Clark, whom he married on Nov. 29, 1900, at Manitowac, Wis., and a son, Irvine Striffler, of Marysville, Ohio.
